They must really be short on income and in panic mode to have done this.

Ok now rollback the cost too while you’re at it

Holy cow!

Greed unhinged. “So they take a s*it on our heads and we’re supposed to say ‘Thanks for the hat?'”
No.
***NEVER.***
dSCHUMI
I hope they do some nice discount on the passes.
ericsipi
They’d never do it but it would cool if for events like this they made remote raiding free for the day. Or similar to the hour every Tuesday, there’s an hour or two during the day raids are free.

I still don’t understand the hold limit. I’ve accrued so many premium passes, but I can’t have more than 5 remote??? Will the servers be overloaded if I have a 6th pass?
Ivanovic-117
Only whales take advantage of that type of promotions. Average player doesn’t have more than 5 remote raids passes
Plemora777
I used to buy 40-50 remote raid passes a week. Haven’t bought one since they increased the price. This won’t change my behavior.
Slugsnout
meh. Not worth the cost now.

Reintroduces something that was once normal as a “special treat” for a special event.
Thanks Niantic
ImpossibleDay1782
Lol I thought they changed how remote raids worked because they wanted to “encourage more in person raiding”?
Still not paying for the passes.
alex_flygh
I don’t even get why they increased the price and put a limit on them, it makes them less money

There’s a daily limit? Has no idea. I bought the 15€ Go Fest tickets the last two years in a row (I have to pay $17 from my US account, but they know I’m in Europe so they gouge me the extra few bucks). Not this year. Rewards didn’t seem worth even $5 ($6 because of exchange rate). I wish I got paid in euros since I’m being charged in euros.
I don’t raid anywhere near as much. I only earn coins from gyms. It’s like real life inflation in the game. I don’t get paid more. Shit just cost more. So I buy less since my coins are worth less.

Not for 525 it isn’t
Spirit_Bloom
Why are people so excited to hand over more money?
some_tired_cat
yaaaaaay i’ve always dreamed of *checks notes* having previously normal game mechanics be brought back as a special treat like a slap to the face to be asked for more money. yessss my favorite part of company greed
Al-Forever
HELL YEAH THEY LISTENING
nzlaftershock
Oh, wow… so generous of them to give back something we used to have for a limited time…
MrMcDuffieTTv
When the price drops I’ll get back on it. I would spend 10$ to 20$ for remote passes every cycle but since the change I haven’t bought a single one.
Edit- Down voted because I would spend my own money on a game I enjoyed. Nice.
Majik518
There is literally no reason to have a limit.
Simplordx69
You know what will be limited? My coins
Nihilism-1___Me-0
Ok, but now can we have trading across long distances?
Seems absolutely bonkers that you can’t do that in this ‘next gen super futuristic VR’ game when you could do it on a Nintendo DS…
SaltyBigBoi
Still not paying for raid passes or the ticket. As a f2p player, going from being able to do 3 legendary raids in 5 days to 1 legendary raid in 4 days has been the biggest slap in the face. Hosting raids has also become near impossible after the bundle was deleted (let’s not pretend that raiding with a local group was even an option to begin with for rural players).
In the current state of the game, legendaries are basically locked behind a paywall for me. I have no desire to support a game that actively sacrifices as much playability as possible just to squeeze out every last penny from the players.
And the worst part is that there’s too many people who are willing to keep compromising with worse and worse practices instead of voting with their wallets. The last time I remember the community making an actual change is when we got the pokestop spin distance to stay increased, and that was 2 years ago.

Now make the effect permanent and the passes cheaper
Shayneros
Kind of a bummer, think you would want to incentivize people to go out for the event, not stay in.
Rustyybucket
That’s nice, can we skip the raid timer yet?
Marbi_
bring down the fucking price of the passes, you cowards
WilliamBillAdama
So, can we get mega energy from remote raid of Mega Rayquaza? Is there any official information?
Rasty_lv
People are excited for thing what was normal before.. You guys have way too short of memory
StevensDs-
Is it tho? I don’t care if they remove the limit altogether I just can’t justify paying 2 times the price for a raid that still has a chance of sucking, not shiny and can run away.
Bushfulloffrogs
Wow these guys are pathetic
GNRJosh123
Won’t be getting any of my actual money. Only the free coins got from gyms.
ArwingElite
They took it away, just so they can re-release it as an “event”
Niantic using that McRib logic
BeautifulPlace2Drown
Are they 3 for 250 coins though? I won’t be buying any
franky3987
F these guys. Just another way to make them look good for something crappy they did initially
Wakk0o
Takes it then gives it back when they feel like for a limited time. “I am a merciful god”
Balc0ra
Not the first time they have done it for an event. As this makes the limit seem even more… silly when they do this at times.

Get ready to empty your wallets!
Remember when this was…you know…the norm?!
